Why are we paying this cretin at all, let alone $400,000 per annum? Isn’t it rather like paying the murderer who kills your beloved child? Or the thief who has already stolen 65% of your wealth? Shouldn’t it be the other way around, that politicians and their cronies pay us for all the damage they’ve done?

But OK, if we’re silly enough to finance predators, I say pay ‘em minimum wage. And license ‘em: no practicing the lethal profession of politics without a bureaucrat’s permission. Let these ticks, leeches, thugs, liars, frauds and thieves suffer what they’ve forced the “workingman” to suffer all these decades.
